You’ve been through a lot. Life and its challenges keep you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, and confused, like heavy boulders in your way. Perhaps, you are going through a difficult transition and finding it hard to adjust or something in your life just doesn’t feel right. You might be feeling numb, angry, sad, hopeless, scared… you may be feeling the weight of the world on your shoulders. You might not know where or how to start. Therapy can be an intimidating experience as it requires us to open up to our inner world. Taking the first step is hard and I value the courage it takes to make that first stride.

It's hard when you feel like you don't understand what is wrong with your loved one, and all you want to do is help. Perhaps more often than not, you struggle and/or feel frustrated and can't communicate without you and/or the other person becoming upset, and it feels hopeless trying to figure out how to fix the problem. During such difficult times, know that you're not alone, that your feelings are valid, and there is hope for things to change for the better.

My third culture kid (TCK) upbringing nurtured in me an interest in cross-cultural dialogue and interfaith work, and I eventually became passionate about peacebuilding. I facilitated cross-cultural dialogue among university students from different countries and worked with unaccompanied refugee youth from various African countries. This has equipped me with the ability to work with people from diverse backgrounds. Inner peace is essential for peaceful relationships with others, and I learned this after witnessing the trauma of the revolution and its aftermath.

Welcome! I’m dedicated to helping individuals and couples navigate the complexities of life and relationships.
